What a terrible thing! At least they can get the bodies to take them to their relatives :_(

It is great that some can have loved ones to lay to rest. That would be so difficult for many, not to have an actual physical body to help with the grieving process. It is a miracle they have found as much as they have in wreckage and bodies. This is just a horribly sad situation.

Can someone please tell me why this tail fin has not one scratch or dent on it and there is no more wreckage? I would think if the plane could not be located itis because there was an explosion and it is in tiny bits which would be charred from the explosion... There is something very fishey about this... Now they are saying terrorists--don't believe it. You are being fed what they want you to believe... the truth will eventually surface but I do NOT believe that is the real tail fin of Flight 447....

Thanks my friends, yes, some bodies were recovered but not even the half yet, I hope they can give peace to the families by finding them.

Dove, yes, I know what you are thinking, I think that too.

Please, don't start the stories of a bomb going off. The families of the victims don't need that to think about. Bad weather was the culprit here. It is probably possible for that part of the plane to have little or no damage. Let's let these people rest in peace for christs sake.

Did you were there? because there has to be an investigation first.

If you read, people here in this note are sorry because these people died, what they think is their opinion and we hear it as we have to hear yours.

PS: And very respectful opinion you gave too without the judging of course

No one said anything about a bomb except you. There are a variety of things that could cause an explosion, like the weather (lighting). If the plane was dropping quickly in altitude and losing pressure to fast in the engines, etc. The point here is that when a plane crashes into water it floats for a bit, the flight attendants open hatches and people get out until it sinks, if it ever does. So the fact that we are supposedly finding pieces of a plane indicates that something blew it apart... so we should either see the seats floating and some people or a charred piece I would think. It just seems fishy... I read where some people want to leave their families bodies in the ocean for burial at sea and they don't even want the bodies recovered, while others do. I would want to become one with mother ocean myself...

And also, it´s very important to do an investigation, it´s suposed to be one safe airplane and the electrical parts shouldn´t fail like this and that is said all around the world about this crash.

Air France jet 'broke' in mid air

Bone fractures found in bodies recovered from the Atlantic suggest the Air France jet that crashed two and half weeks ago first broke up in the air, aviation experts say.

A spokesman for Brazilian medical examiners told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Wednesday that fractures in the legs, hips and arms were found in autopsies on an undisclosed number of the 50 bodies recovered so far.

"Typically, if you see intact bodies and multiple fractures - arm, leg, hip fractures - it's a good indicator of a midflight break up,'' said Frank Ciacco, a former forensic expert at the US National Transportation Safety Board.

"Especially if you're seeing large pieces of aircraft as well," he added.

Brazil's O Estado de S. Paulo newspaper, citing unnamed investigators, also said some victims of Air France AF 447 were found with little or no clothing, and had no signs of burns.

That lack of clothing could be significant, Jack Casey, an aviation safety consultant in Washington DC, told AP.

"In an in-air break up like we are supposing here, the clothes are just torn away.''

Casey also said multiple fractures were consistent with a midair breakup of the plane, which was cruising at about 10,500m when it went down.

"Getting ejected into that kind of windstream is like hitting a brick wall - even if they stay in their seats, it is a crushing effect,'' Casey said.

"Most of them were long dead before they hit the water would be my guess.''

'Less fuzzy'

With more than 400 bits of debris recovered from the ocean's surface, the top French investigator into the crash expressed optimism on Wednesday about discovering what brought down the Airbus A330-200 on June 1.

But Paul-Louis Arslanian, who runs the French air accident investigation agency BEA, told a news conference outside Paris that the conditions in which recovery efforts are continuing were "one of the worst situations ever known in an accident investigation".

He said French investigators were beginning to form "an image that is progressively less fuzzy".

"We can say there is a little less uncertainty, so there is a little more optimism."

But he cautioned that "it is premature for the time being to say what happened".

Brazil's military said the search was becoming increasingly difficult in bad weather and a tentative date of June 25 has been set for stopping recovery efforts.

Search teams have yet to find the aircraft's flight data and voice recorders, commonly known as black boxes.

The boxes are thought to be deep under water and will send out an electronic tapping sound for just two more weeks.
